The role of the Chief Research Informatics Officer (CRIO) is emerging in academic health centers to address the challenges clinical researchers face in the increasingly digitalized, data-intensive healthcare system. Most current CRIOs are the first officers in their institutions to hold that role. To date there is very little published information about this role and the individuals who serve it.
To increase our understanding of the CRIO role, the leaders who serve it, and the factors associated with their success in their organizations.
The Clinical Research Informatics Working Group of the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) conducted a national survey of CRIOs in the United States and convened an expert panel of CRIOs to discuss their experience during the 2016 AMIA Annual Symposium.
CRIOs come from diverse academic backgrounds. Most have advance training and extensive experience in biomedical informatics but the majority have been CRIOs for less than three years. CRIOs identify funding, data governance, and advancing data analytics as their major challenges.
CRIOs play an important role in helping shape the future of clinical research, innovation, and data analytics in healthcare in their organizations. They share many of the same challenges and see the same opportunities for the future of the field. Better understanding the background and experience of current CRIOs can help define and develop the role in other organizations and enhance their influence in the field of research informatics.
在学术医疗中心，首席研究信息官（CRIO）的角色正在兴起，以应对临床研究人员在日益数字化、数据密集型医疗系统中面临的挑战。目前大多数CRIO是其所在机构中担任该职位的首批人员。迄今为止，关于这个角色以及担任该角色的人员的公开信息非常少。
增进我们对CRIO角色、担任该角色的领导者以及与他们在组织中取得成功相关的因素的理解。
美国医学信息学会（AMIA）的临床研究信息学工作组对美国的CRIO进行了全国性调查，并在2016年AMIA年会上召集了一个CRIO专家小组来讨论他们的经验。
CRIO来自不同的学术背景。大多数人在生物医学信息学方面接受过高级培训并拥有丰富经验，但大多数人担任CRIO的时间不到三年。CRIO将资金筹集、数据治理和推进数据分析视为他们的主要挑战。
CRIO在帮助塑造其所在组织中临床研究、创新和医疗保健数据分析的未来方面发挥着重要作用。他们面临许多相同的挑战，并看到该领域未来的相同机遇。更好地了解当前CRIO的背景和经验有助于在其他组织中定义和发展该角色，并增强他们在研究信息学领域的影响力。
